What is on the other side of a black hole?

Spirit of Light

I do not know if I post this in the correct area so please move it if I posted in the wrong thread.

So to my question.
In science they speak of black holes, but can they say what is on the other side? or is it an other side?

As far as I know, in religious cosmology, I do not think black holes have been mentioned, but does that mean that the religious teachers like Jesus and Buddha did not know, or is as simple that it does not matter to the cause of religion to know about this things?

Does it matter if we know or do not know what a black hole is?

I do not know if I will take part in the discussion because honestly, I do not know anything about black holes.

No, science doesn't know because we're not capable of finding out, at least now. Personally I think they lead to other universes or dimensions. I think black holes are basically the source of all that is and they hold a very significant spiritual meaning to me.

Other side or inside?

Our own galaxy (like most) contains a black hole at its centre, like a wheel the black hole is a hub, on the other side is more galaxy.

But inside is unknown, the fundimental laws of physics break down.

Is this a test to see if we are reading your posts because you say, "The answers are inside us". Ask yourself.

I think maybe "hole" is a misnomer and the black thing is just concentrated black matter.

No test at all. i was reading an article about black holes, from a scientific P.O.W and was thinking what would religion say about this, but i did not find a clear answer. And i have very little knowledge about science

As a Buddhist, I see life through the teaching of the Buddha, so Science to me is a difficult viewpoint, And I do like to look at what science and religion say about the same things. Maybe others does not care what religion say, but it does to me personally

The equations of general relativity, when dealing with the energies and densities thought to be at the heart of a black hole, yield infinities. These have often been taken literally, hence the notion of a singularity. But a few years ago it was shown (mathematically) that in fact singularities do not exist.

So far no one has found any mistake in the proof.

Of course there are some really massive objects out there that we call black holes. But what is their true nature - that is the question.

I do not care what religions say, but I care about what God says as you seem to care about what the Buddha says. Does Buddha say anything about outer-space?

Buddha speaks more about the looking within, but he does say something similar to, there are just as many worlds(universes) as there is sand grains on a beach. so to me, it means the cosmos is too big to understand from a human scientific p.o.w

I've never read that Buddha ever knew about black holes. Buddhist cosmology was once a big deal in some historical cultures; Mt. Meru, cosmic mandalas etc - but always analogous with our own state of being. It's never really interested me to be honest, as it has little to do with Buddha's core teachings. More to do with cultural accretions.

That is such a great question... and "how does what is on the other side affect all we believe today"... I hope I'm alive when we find out!

Black holes are just imploded stars . That's all they are.

So, why are you trying to understand something (black holes, worlds, universes) from the viewpoint of someone (the Buddha) who didn't bother contemplating those things? That's a sure-fire dead-end.

Kind of like thinking about Stephen Jay Gould's "non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA)." If physics and religion aren't talking about the same sorts of things, well, then, there's nothing that anyone can do to frame a dialogue that reconciles them. And therefore, everyone engaged in the effort is shouting into the wind.

"What is on the other side of a black hole"?

A guy named Ikanama creating a thread asking, "What is on the other side of a white hole"?

It could be that black holes are constantly drawing in more dust, and that galaxies are simply all the collected dust, and once we go in, more dust will collect to form new planets and sun's, and this process continues on and on continuously.

...And through the black hole, in reaching the other side, it is a big bang, spitting out all kinds of things that form sun's and planets there.

Essentially black holes just spitting matter back and forth, from one dimension to another forever.
